@pastpunditry.bsky.social snuffalofigus is no longer invisible! He was revealed in the 90’s. I remember us parents got together to watch the episodes (without kids who were too old) I first watched sesame street in college in 73. No I wasn’t stoned, though some friends were! I was funny!

@hntdove.bsky.social enjoyed your talk tonight (what I was able to listen to (last minute double booking by spouse who doesn’t understand shared calendars. )) You mentioned a book “lord Kelvin’s” something. (I am particularly deaf) I think it was by Piper? What was the title?

@escapepod.org podcast downloaded this morning with a story whose title started with “knit”. I knew without looking it would be a good day. I was going to be listening to @reasie.bsky.social

Squeaky break, with the kitten, in one of those rare moments he doesn’t want to wrestle. #cats #catsofblursky

In my old age, I am coming to appreciate The Rolling Stones and Johnny Cash.

@zanzjan.bsky.social I know I am late, but I just finished “The Chronolithographer’s Assistant.” Excellent! Friendship, growth, drama and some laugh out loud humor. It has been a while since a scene gripped me as much as rescuing the dog.

Somehow, while struggling with a longer story, the first draft of a flash piece just finished itself. #writing

@annaleen.bsky.social Enjoyed your panel today at the Bookends festival! Made me very jealous of anyone that writes for Tor.

I had pre-ordered Motus, by P.A. Kramer, then got my hands on a pre-release copy. Glad I did! Good read! Available October 9.

I am undecided which is worse, quick rejection, or a really really long wait in second round. #writing
